The Leader Lyrics by Jon English, Bernard Doc Neeson

Paris (Original Musical Soundtrack)

1990

[ACHILLES]
(spoken)
Well, gentlemen
What have we here?
(sung)
Well I've heard of this gathering
A collection of cutthroats and thieves
Now I find some so-called friends of mine here
Think they can win without me
Sit down
Relax
I am a civilized man
And I know the one responsible
And all about his plan
You rolled the dice
How nice
Took your chances
One. Two. Three
So I fear there's
Someone herе who
Think is better than me?
Fools play follow thе leader
See if I really care
You go choose you a leader
And let them face me if he dares
(spoken)
No one? No?
(sung)
Well I heard that the best shall lead
But that's not what I see
And I know only the strong survive
Can you survive without me?
Now I can understand a man with ambition
And a hunger for fortune and fame
But I'll tell you. Nothing ever come to fruition
To secrecy and cowardly games
You know, men?
I thought I had friends
Who would stick by me through
Thick or thin
But I say
Let the dog have his day
(spoken)
Because, I play to win
Yeah
(sung)
Fools play follow the leader
So what do I care?
You go choose you a leader
And let them face me if he dares
(spoken)
Who dares? Who dares?
(sung)
So what's the story?
Death or glory
Take your chances
One. Two. Three
I see no leaders
Just true believers
(spoken)
Believe in me
[PATROCLUS, spoken]
I was just telling them, Achilles
[ACHILLES and CHORUS]
You will know who's the leader
No matter what they say
We will know who's the leader (who's the leader)
But every dog has his day
Agamemnon, one day
We will know who's the leader
I'm the leader
No matter what they say
We will know who's the leader (who's the leader)
But every dog has his day
[PATROCLUS, spoken]
The gods know their business, Agamemnon
[ACHILLES, spoken]
Don't ever
Get in my way
